Run The Jewels - "Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)" ft. Zack de la Rocha

New TracksadminComment

The previously praised Run The Jewels have a new full-length album on the way, and I couldn't be more psyched after the release of this new track featuring none other than Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine.

In case you're unaware, Run The Jewels is a hip hop duo consisting of Georgia rapper Killer Mike and New York rapper-producer El-P. After collaborating heavily on Killer Mike's last full-length, El and Mike decided to take it a step further and solidify themselves as a duo, which they christened with a free full-length album last year.

Ever since, fans have been waiting for the followup, and RTJ isn't gonna make us wait too long for it. The duo's second album, RTJ2, is dropping on October 28th via Mass Appeal, and this newly released track is the best taster from the forthcoming project thus far. The instrumental is one of the most massive El-P has dropped since R.A.P. Music, and it's great to her Zach on point once again--you know, since his recent appearance on the Deltron 3030 followup was somewhat lackluster. Zack's Bitches Brew line was nasty, and El and Mike are sounding great as usual.

Looking forward to this!
